Just got home, a great conference but very tiring.
So here is the scoop, PS 8 is just rumors and nothing more, they are working on it but no plans anywhere in the near future, they have not fixed all the bugs in 7 yet, said they would have a few more upgrades on 7 before 8 is out but they did show a couple of goodies from 8 that will be features. Adobe is totally concentrating on Camera Raw their new program just released. Seemed pretty much digital photography was the main focus of everybodies attention there. All they could talk about was raw 16 bit inages and what you can do with them. The other significant interest was in Euro Collages, to hot to handle there, all the rage, all the focus. Some scanning stuff alot of color correction info, very little photo restoration, some digital art. Everything was digital photography and Euro collages, all that you heard being discussed.
The gossip was about how many companies were downsizing their computer departments, need so fewer employees to do the same work now much quicker and things like photo restoration being ruined by everybody who learns a little PS thinking they can have a photo restoration business.
